Electronic device and control method thereof for determining displayed content based on user presence and interest

Abstract

A processing method includes displaying a first content, acquiring input information, and displaying a second content in response to the input information satisfying a condition. The input information satisfying the condition indicates presence of a viewer of interest.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A processing method comprising:
 displaying a first content related to a subject matter at a first permission state, the first content is a part of a candidate content that an electronic device is configured by a user to display; 
 determining the subject matter based on the first content; 
 finding and identifying a second content based on the determined subject matter, and the second content is different from the first content; 
 detecting, by the electronic device, presence of a viewer of interest based on face recognition and/or sight recognition indicating a sight with the presence of the viewer, by the electronic device; 
 acquiring, by the electronic device, input information satisfying a condition indicating the presence of the viewer of interest interested in at least part of the candidate content; and 
 displaying the second content in response to receiving the input information at a second permission state, at the electronic device, wherein 
 the candidate content that the viewer has paid attention to for the longest time may be regarded as the first content, and the second permission state allows for more access to operation of the electronic device than the first permission state. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the second content includes:
 determining a related content based on the first content; and 
 displaying the related content as the second content. 
 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the second content is a video content; and 
 the first content is an image content that is a part of the video content. 
 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the first content includes:
 displaying a plurality of image contents including the first content in sequence, the plurality of image contents include at least one of non-adjacent parts of a same video content or parts from different video contents. 
 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 4 , further comprising, before displaying the plurality of image contents:
 processing the same video content or the different video contents to generate the plurality of image contents. 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 acquiring object information corresponding to the input information; and 
 determining a third content related to the object information, the third content being same as or different from the second content. 
 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 6 , wherein:
 acquiring the object information includes:
 acquiring an image related to the input information; and 
 performing identity identification on the image to determine the object information of the input information; and 
 
 determining the third content related to the object information includes matching the object information in a candidate content to determine the third content related to the object information, the candidate content corresponding to one or more pieces of object information. 
 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 displaying the first content includes displaying the first content in a first state of an electronic device; and 
 the electronic device has a second state different from the first state. 
 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 8 , wherein:
 the first state has a first permission, the second state has a second permission, and the first permission is lower than the second permission; 
 the second state allows a function different from a candidate content output function; and 
 the first content and the second content are output results of the candidate content output function. 
 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 8 , wherein:
 the first state is a state in which no content is being displayed; 
 acquiring the input information includes acquiring an input for triggering a content display; and 
 displaying the second content includes:
 determining the second content using object information of the viewer acquired before content displaying; and 
 displaying the determined second content. 
 
 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the input information includes at least one of:
 information indicating that a movement of the electronic device satisfies the condition; 
 information indicating whether an approaching object is present; or 
 information indicating whether the viewer is present. 
 
     
     
       12. An electronic device comprising:
 a display device configured to display a first content related to a subject matter at a first permission state, the first content is a part of a candidate content that the electronic device is configured to display by a user; 
 a sensor configured to acquire input information satisfying a condition indicating a presence of a viewer of interest interested in at least part of the candidate content; and 
 a processor configured to:
 control the display device; 
 determine the subject matter based on the first content; 
 find and identify a second content based on the determined subject matter, and the second content is different from the first content; 
 detect presence of the viewer of interest based on face recognition and/or sight recognition indicating a sight with the presence of the viewer; and 
 display a second content in response to receiving the input information at a second permission state, wherein 
 the candidate content that the viewer has paid attention to for the longest time may be regarded as the first content, and the second permission state allows for more access to operation of the electronic device than the first permission state. 
 
 
     
     
       13. The electronic device of  claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 determine a related content based on the first content; and 
 control the display device to display the related content as the second content. 
 
     
     
       14. The electronic device of  claim 12 , wherein:
 the second content is a video content; and 
 the first content is an image content that is a part of the video content. 
 
     
     
       15. The electronic device of  claim 12 , wherein the processing device is further configured to control the display device to display a plurality of image contents including the first content in sequence, the plurality of image contents include at least one of non-adjacent parts of a same video content or parts from different video contents. 
     
     
       16. The electronic device of  claim 15 , wherein the processing device is further configured to, before controlling the display device to display the plurality of image contents, process the same video content or the different video contents to generate the plurality of image contents. 
     
     
       17. The electronic device of  claim 12 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:
 acquire object information corresponding to the input information; and 
 determine a third content related to the object information, the third content being same as or different from the second content. 
 
     
     
       18. The electronic device of  claim 17 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:
 acquire an image related to the input information; 
 perform identity identification on the image to determine the object information of the input information; and 
 match the object information in a candidate content to determine the third content related to the object information, the candidate content corresponding to one or more pieces of object information.
